## Abstract We describe two patients with unusual associated movements as a sequel to thoracotomy. The two patients developed involuntary twitchings of the latissimus dorsi, which were induced by contractions of the adjacent muscles, the serratus anterior muscle in patient 1 and the external interc

โฆ Synopsis
FIG. 1. (A) Location of neuronal recording sites in a sagittal projection onto the Schaltenbrand Wahren atlas at the average laterality of 22 mm. (B) Mean firing rates in GPi and GPe are increased after STN-HFS. Box plots show median (line within the box) as well as 10, 25, 75, and 90th percentiles (*P < 0.05). The superimposed black dots represent the firing rate of each recorded neuron and the change before and after STN-HFS (line). (C) Band pass filtered spike train of an exemplary GPe neuron before, during and after STN-HFS (lower graph). Vertical black bars mark the beginning and end of STN-HFS (lower graph). The bar graph displays the instantaneous firing rate in one second bins (middle graph). To demonstrate the quality of spike separation an overlay of all sorted spikes (dark gray) and the stimulation artifact (light gray) is displayed above each of the three recording periods.

Acute damage in the latissimus dorsi muscle may account for variable clinical results following dynamic cardiomyoplasty and an ischemic cause has been suggested. Using established techniques, we set out to demonstrate and to quantify the acute muscle damage in a rodent model. The left latissimus dor
## Abstract A common complication of soft tissue dissection and muscle harvesting is seroma formation. In order to manage and understand the formation of seromas, we developed a small animal model for seromas in the Sprague Dawley rat. Skin flaps and subcutaneous tissue were elevated and the latiss
